-
The view of time tends to vary a bit between the countryside and the city.
-
In the country, when someone is busy, they may choose to finish with their activity and arrive late to a scheduled business appointment or meeting, although this of course depends on whether or not someone is being paid to show up.
-
While it seems not rude to be late, if someone needs you to help him or her, they will expect timeliness.
-
Punctuality sometime seems only valued by the person who is asking for the meeting/assistance, but generally in rural areas, allowances are made and time is flexible, because unreliable transportation, weather, health services, etc. demand it.
